Of course there also are statements that do not match my own opinions, but I no longer believe everything I think, so they don't seem to be worth mentioning at the moment.

Hi, Marco:

Thank you for your prior comments.  

In general, not believing everything you think is a very wise approach, only hard won experience brings this realization which is not an easy process, but a fair amount of objective truth is gained through this.
 
When you feel like it, I would be quite interested in what you have to say.  You have spent many years actively* looking at this problem and those years bring with it certain views that are justified.

Also, if these differences are major, you could consider publishing a discussion of further considerations not present in this work. I think it would be tough to get it published in the same journal -- but it could be done on an open platform.  I, for one, would support such an effort, if you (and maybe Emma?) wanted to do that.

Frankly, I would give the same advice to Torsten.  

*the amount of work you (and many others on the board and the amateur community) have put in is staggering.  I also greatly appreciate your willingness to jump in and provide data related to a problem posed.   The amount of work involved is sobering, to those, like me, who are quite new to the issues involved.  I realize the need to push things forward but I am still in the process of understanding what has gone before and the reasons behind those conclusions, so any discussion is welcomed!
